Amy Childs is eliminated from The Jump after refusing to take part in 'petrifying' ski jump

Amy Childs became the first female celebrity to be eliminated from Channel 4's new winter sports reality show, after refusing to do a 'petrifying' ski jump.

The former Only Way is Essex star found herself in the bottom two with singer Sinitta on Monday night's The Jump after competing in the skeleton against four other competitors.

After getting advice from Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards, who advised the pair to stay focused, and to use their fear to help them concentrate, the 23-year-old could be seen shaking her head as she sat at the top of the run.

'I
feel amazing', she said to host Davina McCall, before doing a little
celebratory dance as she was congratulated by her competitors.
